YESTERDAY
Bill Cosby a man known for being the "American Dad" off of the Bill Cosby Show has been
doing some horrible things toward women. Bill Cosby prosecutors Monday ask for 5 to 10 years for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman. People have different opinions on Cosby's character and what he should be charged with. The district attorney saying "nobody is above the law". Cosbys defense attorney John Green said "What does a 81 year old man do in prison"?
Andrea Constand the women who he is accused of sexually assaulting and drugging mother spoke saying " I can only hope and pray that some sense of peace and faith can be restored back on our family. The victims cannot be un-raped. Unfortunately, all we can do is hold the perpetrator accountable.
This article was produced September 23rd,2018. Months back I have heard many allegations towards Bill Cosby but the court still has not made a decision. I do not agree with people trying to use his age to get out of the actions he has committed. A age should not determine whether he should be charged or not it should be by the things he has done.This article was written because its giving people more information about the Bill Cosby case and what is going on in the system. This article relates to history because now that we have trial by jury there is a chance where people can get justice when people commit crimes or do bad things. This article is relevant to our lives today because there are so many thing that people have done that we do not no about. It may be because there scared to speak up or what the person will do to them. It is never too late to get justice and hopefully these girls that are coming out and speaking of the actions that Cosby has done,then other people will confront things they have been through that should have been addressed to the court.
